How I Broke My Face (While Traveling with My 1 Year Old)

[@Arkhinemor]

Reina your video repeated at 7:40 just an FYI >< ~ I'm so glad you're okay!! Here wishing you a swift recovery 🥺❤️❤️

[@reinascully]

Whoops, maybe I do have some neurological damage 🤔

[@PumpAir11]

Yeah, I thought I had a concussion.

[@Arkhinemor]

@ReinaScully omg hahaha nooo I think maybe you're just exhausted and need better rest, especially since ur still recovering too! Take care Reina! ❤️❤️

[@notyeonnii]

Oh man I thought I accidentally clicked 10sec back or something.

[@0ElaEnchanted0]

As a radiologist from a "third world country" I can't believe they let you go out of the hospital without even an RX. Like in my hospital there is no way we wouldn't give you a face and brain CT. Also, please if you have face or head trauma after fainting, especially if you have any neurological symptoms like numbing please go to a hospital immediately!!! Not the next day and don't go to sleep unless you had a complete neurological evaluation. Please be safe. ❤

[@wendys6438]

Honestly, the US is a third world country....especially when it comes to health "care." Its absolutely normal for doctors to not treat anything that isn't "OMG, you're actively unaliving as I look at you" in the emergency room. More often than not, they just assess your vitals, if it all looks normal, they send you home to follow up with any appointments you bother to make based on their suggestions. So if you experience chest pain, for example, if you aren't having a heart attack, they'll send you home with a suggestion to see a cardiologist, but its up to you to make that appointment and it might not be for days or weeks, even if you explain you were just in the ER. I recently slipped a rib, it hurt so much I legitimately passed out, but thankfully I made it to the bed first. The next day I made an appointment to see my primary doctor, but they couldn't see me for 2 days. Went to that appointment, the doctor didn't even touch me (just charged me $100 USD after insurance picked up part of the fee), sent me to get outpatient x-rays where the tech was confused as to why I was bothering (that ran $200 USD after insurance), and to the chiropractor that gave me a 5 second "adjustment" and 15 minute TENS treatment (that ran $95 with no insurance discount). Its now about 3 months later and I'm still experiencing pain, but nobody did anything, so I don't want to with bother it anymore. Oh, the least expensive part of the whole thing was the $5 USD prescription for narcotics the doctor sent me home with, so there's that, I guess. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@reinascully]

I think Japan would’ve been the same way had I gone to the ER, however I went to Urgent Care in the U.S. which is where you go if it’s not a life threatening emergency because a hospital ER trip is stupendously expensive and may not be covered by insurance. In my case, I showed no symptoms of a concussion and I had full control over my facial muscles (although numb) so I personally wouldn’t have wanted an x ray or a CT tacked onto my bill, especially knowing that the only thing to be done would be to have it heal on its own. If I had a larger or more obvious fracture or if it had affected my eyesight / couldn’t voluntarily move muscles, I absolutely would’ve gone to the ER 👍

[@whiskeybrandybuck]

I suffered a heard injury on a job. Slab of granite fell off a wall and struck me in the head. My speech was slurred, side of head was bleeding and I was dry heaving in the ER. They didn’t give me a head ct. said “well you’re talking and able to walk, so you should be fine” and let me drive home. I eventually got checked later because the pain and issues never left. I’m now on medication for the rest of my life and in neurotherapy, speech therapy, etc. The US can be awful at any clinic or hospital.

[@wendys6438]

@@whiskeybrandybuck a workplace injury is the BEST chance, in the US, of getting proper health care....sadly. Workman's Compensation would have covered everything. You should have absolutely pushed for full proper care. I feel sad that you didn't have someone with you to push the doctors to actually give you treatment. I hope you have found ways to cope with your chronic health issues now though, perhaps, if you have the spoons, its still worth consulting with a personal injury lawyer to see if you can get back compensation for the initial injury too....

[@Tkambird21]

I hope you feel better soon, I've broken my cheek and eye bone and know it can be a bit of a process to fully heal. One major tip for when you feel your breaks have healed is chewing gum to re strengthen the facial muscles on that side. Just make sure to stop immediately and rest when you feel the muscles getting tired so you dont overwork anything.

[@wiiplaythewii2]

My partner deals with similar fainting spells, but hers are due to her having POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) stemming from EDS (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome). Lucky we now are able to handle them well with meds and diet, but it can definitely be scary sometimes! Wish you the best in continual healing, and can’t wait for the next vid. Until next time!

[@soyburglar77]

Warning: adorable baby laughter contained within.

[@phatputer]

Very much appreciate the advice, we are about to fly from New Zealand to the US in a week with small children, while they are a little older 2 and 4 its still going to be their first flights, always appreciate other parents experiences.

[@abinder3]

Reina, it’s nice to see that you seemed to of recovered very well considering the fall you had (btw, your daughter’s giggles and laughter is sooo adorable)

[@reinascully]

Thank you! I didn’t know baby giggles could be so wonderful till Airi came along ❤

[@armtinyannie9771]

I don't have a baby, nor do I ever plan to have one, but it's so interesting hearing your tips and hacks for flying with a baby 😂

[@heart.shaped.locket]

Oh my goodness im so sorry that happened to you!! I get epileptic black outs but im lucky i haven't fallen, i just stop still. They really should have scanned you though!

[@AlleyBetwixt]

So glad you avoided any more serious injuries! And also glad you weren't alone even though that was probably super stressful for Mike! I've had similar low blood sugar/pressure issues my whole life and fallen hard in the presence of family members... so scary! Wishing you as smooth a recovery as possible and less annoying nerve weirdness even if it's probably a good sign.

[@reinascully]

Honestly it’s so nice of you to acknowledge how stressful it was for Mike 🥹 cause I wouldn’t know what to do if our roles were reversed. And fainting issues are no joke! Thank you for the kind & thoughtful comment ❤

[@wraithofthedregs]

I have POTS and I completely relate dto the fainting and low blood pressure and all that. I'm so sorry Reina.

[@KateClough1717]

Omg I totally understand the feinting thing! I’ve had the same issue for years. SO glad you’re okay! That’s so scary to fall completely onto your face like that! Also Airi is the cutest 🥰 I had no idea you could get a carrier for them on planes, that’s really nice 🙂

[@AlfredoMagbual]

SHE'S SOOO CUUUTTEEEEE!!!!

[@diegosantiago1324]

1:57 the girl jumping and the guy passing by while reina is vloging 😭

[@reinascully]

She was so cute ☺️

[@berzerius]

1:54

[@chelseacarpenter2302]

Reina I'm so so sorry you broke your face! That's a crazy fall story!! I hope you're feeling better soon! Don't feel hard on yourself, I also know how difficult it is sometimes to get enough nutrients when you're busy like that! I'm glad it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Much love from Arizona 💜💜

[@reinascully]

That’s so kind of you, thank you so much ❤ the mom guilt is perpetually everywhere apparently 😭

[@MrWordcat]

I also get low blood sugar. It's getting worse as I get older. OJ is my go-to.

[@NFvidoJagg2]

Wishing you a speedy recovery

[@thesamwisegamegee]

Omg those giggles! 🥹❤️ I am so sorry you got hurt so badly like that! But I’m likewise glad you’ve been recovering well, at least. ❤ I hope 2024 brings you good health and great memories. 🫶🏻

[@araminrain]

I've been waiting to hear how that flight went! I'm so glad she was so easy and it was so cool to see your busy book in action! Even if it didn't go so smoothly, you did your absolute best to cover as many bases as possible. I'm glad you were rewarded with a smooth going. Airi is such an expressive young girl! Thank you for sharing moments like the headphones. It's so fun to watch babies begin to experience and understand the world around them. That collar-daiper changing thing was so cool! My parents used to run an at-home daycare for over 20 years and that would have been a great tool to have on hand for the safety and comfort of the babies! I'm going to show my mom it when I see her next. Thanks for sharing!

[@RoStarrr]

ahhh yess travelling with a baby would be a lot easier..just wait till your next trip with a toddler, that's where the "fun" is - speaking from a mom who travelled with a 2 year old last year.

[@RebeccaH43]

Oh my goodness gracious 🤕 I'm glad you are doing a little better, hopefully it heals swiftly.

[@quaxo1]

I feel your pain, Reina. I have a similar issue and while living in Bangkok about 20 years ago, I fainted and smashed my jaw into a table in a restaurant. More recently I did so in the bathroom and smashed my mouth into something I still haven't figured out. Woke up on the floor in a pool of blood and a ton of pain. I've had to have 3 surgeries to rebuild the bone around my mouth so I can have dental implants put in to replace the 2 teeth I knocked out.

[@TheAmpharosFreak]

Nerve damage takes a while to heal. Sorry you have to go through this. Luckily no signs of neuropathy!

[@MiguelMariñelarena]

It's crazy how her tone of voice sounds very similar between languages. I feel like that's not common in bilingual people. Cool video! :)

[@hitsujiyume]

oof, sorry about your fall! glad it seems to be healing but that's scary, never thought about what happens when you break your face. airi's little giggles are so cute! glad you guys had a safe trip, hoping everything is going well otherwise and your face heals completely!

[@feyfeline]

So thankful you're healing! Airi's giggles cured my mental health today ❤ Are you guys thinking of getting a dog or cat yourselves too? I admit I'm totally asking to get more cute Airi & pet content 😂

[@hlolypop]

That is a crazy fall story. I'm sorry it's still not better but I'm also glad it wasn't worse! Headaches, passing out or feeling dizzy sounds like POTS. I had it as a kid and teen, too. Keep eating lots of salt, electrolytes, magnesium, and good food (which I know you are). We moms have it rough!

[@krustomer]

My father has post-concussion syndrome, which would align with the fall, and has all of these symptoms!

[@reinascully]

Thank you for the kind comment ☺️ I actually never considered POTS for myself; I always took hypoglycemia & low blood pressure at face value whenever I was assessed so I never thought to seek further evaluations. I’ll remember to bring it up at my next checkup! Thank you for this, fellow momma ❤

[@somthingbrutal]

ouch, hope you continue to heal

[@vernonwungnema]

Reina Scully’s first re-run! Glad to hear you’re OK. “What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger.” Bam!

[@Krieghandt]

Reina, you have the strangest health history. And mine isn't exactly normal.

[@jessicaharris4096]

She is so adorable ❤ sorry about your 😬

[@Travelbug50]

OMGosh, so sorry for the accident. That sounds very scary, but I'm glad you are healing. Take care!

[@denisedarland3345]

Ok. 2 things. 1. Your baby has got to be one of the cutest babies I have ever seen. and 2... I would rather your baby have a little freakout on the plane and cry a little bit than for you to be so out of it that you fall down and almost kill yourself. Get some rest, girl! But I am glad you are feeling better and hope you heal up completely!! :D

[@AniGrannyOG]

明けましておめでとうございます！今年もよろしくお願いします！ Sorry you broke your face 😢 You're still gorgeous though ❤ Edited to say that your daughter is totally sweet and too adorable 😍 No wonder the flight attendants were obsessed. When I was a flight attendant, I loved to play with the babies. My youngest daughter will be 6 in March and this video was giving me warm and fuzzy flashbacks of her at that age. She watched the video with me and we were both gushing over your little sweetheart!

[@usakoraw]

Girl Last year I had a Contusion / brain injury from a fall. UGH!!! You are not the same afterwards I swear! Falling is the worst especially when you have a condition and you know when you start feeling faint so you sit or lie down. That's me too. But last year when it happpened... I was in the bathroom - on the toilet. . . Yep. Don't remember going in to the bathroom. My husband found me - I crashed hard! And right across the toilet is this piece of furniture that holds toilet paper. Yep... It my head on that. My head felt like it was on fire! I thought I was bleeding from that fall. It's soo embarressing too! So glad it was my husband who found me and not a fire fighter. UGH. Thank God for husbands. Right? But your poor face!!! At least it didn't last - that's good, right?

[@Sherman1fan]

Hope you heal well! Gotta protect mommy! Looks like you planned very well for the trip. Wish for good health to you and your family in this new year! (repeated section about initial eye explanation, just FYI)

[@littlefurnace]

Oof, I'm really glad you didn't injure yourself even worse! But you GOTTA take better care of yourself!! That's your baby's mom you just hurt!😂Hope the nerve craziness has calmed down too. Wishing you all a calm, healthy new year 😁

[@jamieboewrites4334]

It's always good to see you Reina! Your family is so precious. Your videos inspire and motivate me to keep it real and enjoy life. Keep up the great work!❤

[@sonicase]

wow, yeah nerves take quite a while to heal. glad you're ok

[@anyaroz8619]

wow! what a story!

[@gundambassexe31]

Good morning Reina senpai ! Happy new year to you too! Sorry yo hear about your face being broken 😔

[@AttackRunRepeat]

Oh my gosh I am glad you're okay! I've had a pinched nerve in my back and the way nerves act when they're off is some of the strangest feelings in the world. I'll be taking your message of taking care of our bodies into 2024. 💜

[@zenmoonmaster]

I wish you a speedy recovery 🤕💙

[@vega1221]

Hi, relatable, I actually did fracture my left side of face. It's so weird not feeling half your face. I had to get surgery and plates in cheek, left side of nose, bottom of left eye orbital and tope outer orbital. Not sun but eye was good, thank God! Glad you're ok. I still have the nerve feeling cause it never fully healed. That was 15 years ago ha barely noticed it, but my eyelid got stretched down a little. Annoying but all good. Keep posting great vids ^^)

[@Saavik256]

That's some fall story, sheesh! I wish you a speedy recovery, even though it's already been a couple of months! I developed atypical epilepsy about a decade ago, and the first time I had a seizure I was at the register in a local shop, the next moment I was in the back of an ambulance. Scary stuff.

[@Taydar]

Oh no. Hope you get better.

[@Jiddy12345]

Thank you for the updates Papa Reina

[@lyleabrahams]

OMG precious little baby girl you have there. Hope youre feel better after fainting. HNY

[@sternritternovad]

That sounds horrible but hopefully you are healing ok, and your baby is adorable.

[@BabySealCIubber]

“You should see the other guy!” Glad you’re ok, Senpai. おだいじに！あけましておめでとう！

[@AmyBrueckman]

Oh no, too familiar to me lately. I did fall down! :( I had covid really bad right before Christmas and passed out face first into my old fashioned metal radiator. I didn't have a concussion either but my neck and back have been messed up ever since. If yours is taking this long to heal, maybe mine will stick around a long time too, ugh. I hope you're feeling better now!

[@cosmogal627]

I suffer from reactive hypoglycemia and I had a seizure once, fell and hit my head. I am so thankful I was okay. Its scary to get to that point. I have low blood pressure too! Crazy. Had a tilt table test done for that. My doctors solution...salt. eat a handful of pretzels and stay hydrated.

[@saphirsteph]

I totally slept with a baby on my chest on my last night flight when we went to Peru! We were lucky enough to be on a very (very) empty flight, and I laid flat down on a row of 3 seats. Next time we fly out will be something else as we’ll be travelling as a family of 4 with a newborn and a toddler ❤ I hope the nerves in your face heal soon, it sounds so very painful and inconvenient. Wishing you and your family all the best. Cheers!

[@screenplaya4562]

SO happy you are going to be okay, Reina. That said, I though I might've gotten a concussion myself when the video showed you repeating the story about your possible concussion. :) I will chalk that up to editing and not my own broken brain. Dig you guys.

[@evalynn1863]

As someone with POTS and Chiari Malformation this is pretty much my biggest fear. I pass out a lot when I'm stressed, tired, or overdo it but I have gotten great at being able to tell when it's going to happen. The scariest one was when I took my cat to the vet for an emergency right when I woke up but I was able to brace myself before it happened. I also had brain surgery and had part of my skull removed so I am so terrified of just passing out with no warning signs and no prep to sit or lay down cuz that could be bad news if I hit my head.

[@NikkiLove9022]

I was so happy to see a new video. 🥰 I’m so sorry about your fall, but I’m glad it wasn’t worse and you’re recovering nicely, even if it is a bit slow. ❤ Ahhhh, Airi always seems to happy! Her swinging was the cutest thing. I hope this year is a good one for you and your family. 🥰

[@allieoldfield]

God fainting is so scary isn’t it? The bit before where everything goes black at the edges like the end of a loony tunes episode. It sucks! Glad you’re ok, the bub is super cute, kids are just the best 🐣

[@hollyhummel9774]

Glad you are healing. US Urgent care can be so frustrating (and ER!) He should have sent you for an xray 😯 and not just said oh nothing I can do.

[@jackie_stones]

Iri is かわいい。 Glad all is well. 🙏

[@gundambassexe31]

2:26 very cute lol

[@Martyr217]

Ah shit, I broke my face over 10 years ago while almost getting mugged and it sucked recovery wise, I hope you heal well with no nerve damage in the end etc.

[@christophermedeiros2971]

Reina, I'm so glad you're okay! Last year I was playing flag football and the same thing happened to me when someone ran into me! I luckily also didn't break my orbital floor but my cheek bone was noticeably shifted to the touch so I had a short 15 minute surgery to straighten that. I also broke the sinus bones on that side. I didn't have the weird nerve feelings you had but my eye would twitch like you and that part of my face was numb for a while and for a very long time my gums and teeth were numb in the area. Everything is fine for me now though! It took about 8 months?

[@AL-vo2uh]

That's so scary. As your internet sister, I demand that you let others help you! You are capable and take care of many things, but I am sure your family and hubs will help out so something like this won't happen again. Make you sit and have a snack 🍊. Also, I can't really sleep on planes either... 😮‍💨

[@eprohoda]

outstanding !

[@zenmoonmaster]

She seems like one of those babies that is well adjusted to new things

[@btingang]

Emergency doctor here, I'm only at halfway of the video but the symptoms you're describing sounds like orbital floor fracture until proven otherwise.... 😬😬😬

[@Erinswasteospace]

My baby is a month younger than yours and she has flown 4 times and I think you sound like an expert lol. My only add in would be bring a silly amount of snacks.

[@JadezWOW]

😮 this story gave me bit of anxiety

[@japanesereadingandwriting]

体に気をつけてください。

[@Jaggernaut]

lmao that person at 1:54 who noticed you were recording

[@thisisallthereis]

Need to re edit around 7:30

[@Titan2565]

We're traveling to Japan in May with our 3 year old and 1 year old boys. Any tips on travelling around Tokyo with small kids?

[@Lysander45]

It kinda feels like every 3rd video you release is some admission that some life event has rocked the foundations of your existence, and you always deliver the news with the same consistent mild-mannered tone. What I mean to say is, at some point in April I expect to hear how you were attacked by a wild boar and somehow yeeted it with Mom-strength or something.

[@petra_kalbrain4426]

Glad you didn’t have anything serious. ❤️ P.S. Your edit has a double over repeat of part of your story. The “orbital floor / X-ray would be too expensive” clip was repeated one right after the other. Are you certain you aren’t still having side effects? 🤣

[@blindMAN219]

I'm really sorry you're dealing with those nerve issues. Facial nerve damage sucks a dick. What you're experiencing almost sounds like synkenesis, which in facial paralysis (bells palsy), is when you try moving one muscle, but your brain sends signals through the wrong nerve and another part of your face moves; eg. You blink, but your lip twitches at the same time. It's considered like a faulty re-wiring of your facial nerve. Synkenesis specifically is with the facial nerve and muscle contractions though, so I'm not sure how this sensation works in the trigeminal nerve, but maybe it's something you can bring up with your neurologist next time you see them! Hopefully it's nothing to worry about at all, and your nerve is just healing itself back to normal. Sounds like you're doing everything right, so keep on trucking dude!

[@Mith420420]

I have nerve damage in my face after an operation, if i drink something hot i feel it on my chin like water dripped out of my mouth, I also feel movement on my chin when I touch my lower lip.

[@bronwynecg]

Were you supposed to edit the doctor story? You told it twice… but otherwise yikes! 😳 glad to see you’re healed somewhat.

[@zenmoonmaster]

What are some things I can do to bring luck in the new year Japan style

[@SailorYen89]

This sounds like such a dumb obvious thing to say but Airi looks like an exact combo of you and Mike. Like normally babies look more like one parent or the other but she's a perfect split of the two of you!

[@Tetsou18]

That was ok winking, wtf?!

[@erwinhun]

I don't even have a baby but I still found it interesting 😁

[@elbagofcarp]

Sound like your facail nerves were inflamed, kinda of like bells palsy. Facial massages and exercises could help.

[@dylanbuc1867]

Um, that MEW HOODIE THO

[@japanesereadingandwriting]

If you ever feel like you're going to faint, just sit down and start chugging water.

[@yugioht42]

No they’re more concerned with the cheekbones which you lucky did not break. It’s the area left and right of the nose. If that busted then then they would have to call a surgeon and you get hardware put in. It’s a sensitive area you know.

[@findingpeacedailyfpd6064]

🥺

[@rickyricardo9710]

2:26 airi is an anti-masker confirmed lol

[@seaw2992]

Are you aware of ionizing radiation while at high altitude?

[@OutsiderXE]

I hope the husbands hand is OK

[@babyitsnatural]

Hopefully you're not covering up a case of domestic violence. Please don't put yourself at risk unnecessarily. That said, if it's not DV then I'm sure there are better informed comments in the comment section than mine. Hopefully you're doing well!

[@DanteBogdan]

I hope this never happens to you again but if it does always get checked for a concussion before going to sleep.

[@Joshayyy]

❤

[@Xedgehog1]

So, the baby got a lay flat seat in economy?

[@EnriqueGarcia-tc6uy]

You are still beautiful. :)

[@sharonk2949]

Um Kate Hudson much? I am sure that you have heard that before lol

[@TheHawaiianc]

Wow your kid beat you up hard on the plane lol jk I wonder looks like you tore some muscles I wonder that could be miss alignment of nerves just guess and reason you feel your finger above your mouth rather your cheek is where damage nerves ended or cut also that pain could be that fracture you talking about due your sense is all over the place.. that my guess but other then that glad you spent time with family

[@AbiyBattleSpell]

Ok Reina u forgetting to speak eng and Japanese is scaring my dog fur reel get a full eval for everything I’m now worried u got brain damage 😿

[@War_Hunter]

how rude of you to blame your child for your injury. Because that is what your video tittle sounds like

[@thisisallthereis]

Might be related to the COVID vaccines

[@MyLittleGreenHairdedMermaid]

Do you have POTS..... if not I would look up the symptoms.
